Shot entirely in-engine using real-time gameplay, the Launch Trailer for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 aimed to pay homage to the cinematic intensity of James Cameron's action-packed Aliens and the enduring legacy of the Alien franchise. Foregoing pre-rendered cutscenes, our team operated the marketing build’s camera during live multiplayer sessions, balancing precise visual blocking with spontaneous framing to shoot unscripted combat. The cinematography shifts seamlessly between lingering, atmospheric shots of cold environments, terrifyingly vulnerable angles of the Xenomorph horde, and simulated security camera footage.
